Schedule Virtual Survey

Virtual Surveys are becoming as popular as in-home surveys very quickly.

This Virtual survey is a mobile app that allows you to connect with one of our sales representatives via video call and do a walking tour of your home. It is design for small moves or big moves and take approximately 15-20 minutes.

We will send you an email confirming the appointment along with a unique access code.

During the virtual moving survey, your sales rep can snapshot the various spaces while you do the walk through and log them in your customer portal with notes so that, on moving day, our crew is prepared to meet your specific needs.

About Belize

Belize, a northernmost Central American nation, is a constitutional monarchy and the only country in Central America with English as the official language. Bordered by Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea, Belize has a tropical climate with pronounced wet and dry seasons and diverse flora-more than half of its land surface is covered by forest.

Belize is unique among its Central American neighbors, with a diverse society comprised of many cultures and languages. Belizean culture is a mix of influences and people, including Kriol, Maya, Garinagu, Mestizo (a mixture of Spanish and Native American), Mennonites of German descent, Chinese and Lebanese.

Football, basketball, volleyball and cycling are the major sports in Belize. Belizeans of all ethnicities eat a wide variety of foods, including Johnny cakes (cornmeal flap jacks), refried beans, rice with or without coconut milk, tamales, panades, (fried maize shells with beans or fish), escabeche (onion soup), stew chicken, and garnaches (fried tortillas with beans, cheese, and cabbage sauce). Punta is the most popular genre music in Belize-Afro-Caribbean in sound, it is similar to styles such as reggae, calypso, and merengue. American music such as rap and heavy metal are also popular in the country.

Based primarily on agriculture (particularly banana production) and merchandising, Belize's economy is small and essentially private. Tourism and construction are playing increasingly important roles in the economy. The trade partners of Belize are US, UK, Nigeria, Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, Spain and China.
